چکیده
In this paper we describe algorithms for the numerical computation of Fourier transforms of tensor elds on the two-sphere, S. These algorithms reduce the computation of an expansion on tensor spherical harmonics to expansions in scalar spherical harmonics, and hence can take advantage of recent improvements in the eÆciency of computation of scalar spherical harmonic transforms.

Classical Wavelet Transforms over Finite Fields
This article introduces a systematic study for computational aspects of classical wavelet transforms over finite fields using tools from computational harmonic analysis and also theoretical linear algebra. We present a concrete formulation for the Frobenius norm of the classical wavelet transforms over finite fields. It is shown that each vector defined over a finite field can be represented as...
متن کاملHarmonic analysis for star graphs and the spherical coordinate trapezoidal rule
Aspects of continuous and discrete harmonic analysis on the circle are generalized to star graphs, and through spherical coordinates to the two sphere. The resulting function theory is used to analyze trapezoidal rule integration on the two sphere. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 65D30, 65T99, 34B45
متن کاملA systematic approach to obtaining numerical solutions of Jeffery’s type equations using Spherical Harmonics
This paper extends the work of Bird, Warner, Stewart, Sørensen, Larson, Ottinger, Vukadinovic, and Forest et al., who have applied Spherical Harmonics to numerically solve certain types of partial differential equations on the two-dimensional sphere. We present a systematic approach and implementation for solving such equations with efficient numerical solutions. In particular we are able to so...
متن کاملGazeau- Klouder Coherent states on a sphere
In this paper, we construct the Gazeau-Klauder coherent states of a two- dimensional harmonic oscillator on a sphere based on two equivalent approaches. First, we consider the oscillator on the sphere as a deformed (non-degenerate) one-dimensional oscillator. Second, the oscillator on the sphere is considered as the usual (degenerate) two--dimensional oscillator. Then, by investigating the quan...
متن کاملA spectral method for the wave equation of divergence-free vectors and symmetric tensors inside a sphere
The wave equation for vectors and symmetric tensors in spherical coordinates is studied under the divergence-free constraint. We describe a numerical method, based on the spectral decomposition of vector/tensor components onto spherical harmonics, that allows for the evolution of only those scalar fields which correspond to the divergence-free degrees of freedom of the vector/tensor. The full v...
